Vince Gill - When Love Finds You (CD)

All Music Guide

By 1994, Vince Gill was a bona fide country superstar. His recordings had sold into the millions and his tours were sellouts around the globe. He was ubiquitous on the radio as well. Producer Tony Brown took an even heavier hand on Gill's recordings, even though Gill's own songs dominated his records. The tightrope walk between a handsome tender countrypop balladeer and the rootsy rocking honky tonk guitar picker was being falling on the side of the ballads. It was working on the charts, but some of Gill's older fans, those familiar with his multifaceted talent, began to weary of his playing it so safe. There are only three uptempo cuts on When Love Finds You: the tough rockabilly swagger that is at the heart of "South Side Of Dixie," the honky tonk shuffle "What Cowgirls Do," and the midtempo country rocker "You Better Think Twice." The rest are ballads, every last one of them, but there are a few gems real gems among them including the opener, "Whenever You Come Around," and the stun...ning title track. - Thom Jurek, All Music Guide Read more Less
